[QUOTE="svengandhi, post: 643082, member: 3493"] I hope that your husband will recover completely and that he will be able to continue to work out within reason. As for your older son, I would not be disappointed in his reaction. It actually shows that he is thinking like an adult - he was concerned about the financial ramifications of husband's health and inquired about it. The other day, my youngest son, who had been running a fever, passed out. I was at work and daughter called me. I told them to call the doctor and see what to do. The doctor said to take baby boy to the ER. I must have told H and daughter at least 10 times to make sure that the hospital record stated that baby boy was only brought to the hospital because the doctor said to. Why? I'm the one who plays the medical bills and ERs try not to pay if it's not a true emergency, that's why I had to make sure the doctor approved it first. So, I am like your oldest son - my way of dealing with a scary issue (believe me, I was worried sick about my baby boy) was to focus on an ancillary, but important, aspect. As for baby boy, it turned out to be strep and tonsillitis. Not trying to lecture you, just want to point out an alternative way of looking at things. Maybe your oldest son can stay with his dad while you go on your casino trip? [/QUOTE]
